How do you know when to replace the filters?

Usually it's about every year for us, but definitely when you can taste the difference in the water.

Hi Mike, I have a meter that measures TDS. This will usually run around 30ppm. When it increases to over 100ppm and/or output significantly decreases, I replace the membrane. I have not yet replaced the prefilters but monitor them visually.

The system manual recommends changing the pre and post filters every 6 months and the membrane every 1-2 years. I don't use a lot of water and my city water is very clear so I am planning to change all the elements every 5 years. Good luck

I haven't yet had to replace the filter. I don't use it that much. My filter is a permanent filter and I just empty it in the trash when I use it.

of course filters need to be replaced. try reading the description of item before asking such rediculous questions.

The date you put in the filter so you know when to replace it. Like on a Brita filter.

I haven't replaced the filter in either one (I have two). I have had them more than a year.

You have to open it and change the filter. I do this every other month only I hose the old one down

When you open the new filter, you will find a new battery in there too. The battery is responsible for thelittle light that changes from green to red when the filter needs to be replaced. I change mine much more often than you. Good luck.

The filters are typically replaced annually. The membrane should be replaced every 3-5 years. These figures are for typical municipal water conditions. Part# B000F5M6V6

You can order them on Amazon. I normally keep my filters a bit longer than recommended, particularly in colder, dryer weather. My personal recommendation is to change the filters every 6-8 weeks in the colder months and once a month in any month without an 'r' in it. Always clean the bowl and motor and motor housing once a week with a small brush. It will keep the water from getting slimy.

Hi- they take filters and they need to be replaced every 2-3 months depending on usage.They are currently out of stock, but they are also sold on Amazon. They will be back in stock on 06/05/2015 on Amazon.

I bought a new machine because my filter finally wore out. By that time, the timer or sensor wasn't working exactly right anyway. They aren't that expensive to replace the whole thing.

It is hard to say. The old filters used to have an indicator which was a no-brainer. I usually change mine every few (3) months or so (when I remember). If you notice the water filters more slowly, I would suggest to change it.

Did you double check that the new filters are properly in place? I would take them out and put them in again. Otherwise, call the customer service number for assistance at 1-800-541-6645. I hope this helps.

There's a screw on left side you unscrew it and clean filter in there also think you can buy new ones

Naturally, it depends on how much you use it, but we get at least a month or two out of each filter. We can tell by the taste when it needs to be changed.

There are three filters One permanent, two replaceable. You should "clean" and re-use the initial filter monthly depending on the work load. I haven't had this unit very long so I just take the front cover off and visually check the filter. The cover is very easy to remove & replace. The other two filters are expected to last around 18 months. They have to be replaced, not cleaned. When the cover is off there are a series of led lights telling you the condition of the filters. By the way, removal and replacement of the filters is really easy.

The set contains two filters and both are used for approximately 6 months or less. Then they need to be replaced.
